    <p>Not exactly. Unlike DKIM which is basically a "blame me" kind of
      authentication at the domain level, STIR/SHAKEN tries to solve the
      problem of who is allowed to use what E.164 address. You can
      probably educe which domain to blame from it... sort of -- I'm not

      exists and regulates it. That is not true of email.<br>
